In the book, I was fed by my sister

It snowed for half a month, and it finally stopped today. But the howling wind was so strong that it hurt my face.

Everyone was in a panic. The people in front of them didn't dress like the soldiers in the city. The murderous aura that came towards them made people tremble.

The people in Lihua Village couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Wanshu went to the city to buy medicine that day.

That day, he returned empty-handed, and the news he brought back plunged the whole village into panic.

The officers and soldiers in the city were searching everywhere and forcibly collecting vegetables and firewood from nearby villagers.

Could it be that these soldiers who suddenly appeared were really here to ask for food and firewood?

There was a glimmer of surprise in Jia Zhenchang's eyes. He never expected that there would be troops appearing in Lihua Village.

His eyes quickly swept over the soldiers, finally settling on the burly general in the lead.

He hurriedly hid the ginseng he had snatched in his arms, then quickly straightened his slightly messy clothes, straightened his back, and walked quickly forward. He tried his best to make his voice sound sincere and respectful:

"Thank you for your hard work, officers! You have to go out of the city to carry out the mission in such a cold day. It's really hard work for you!"

He was the head of Changxi Village, and because he was related to Mr. Jia, he had a lot of prestige in the village. He thought he could talk to these officials.

It was also because of this relationship that he dared to take a few of his men and run to the neighboring Lihua Village to steal medicine.

The leader general was a burly man, sitting upright on his horse, looking down, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Jia Zhenchang's heart tightened, but he kept a flattering smile on his face: "I am the village chief of the neighboring village, Mr. Jia..."

Before Jia Zhenchang could finish his response, his head rolled off.

"what!!!"

Screams of terror suddenly broke out in the crowd.

"No one can leave!" The officers and soldiers drew their swords.

The people who were fighting for the medicinal herbs suddenly became weak in the knees when they saw the blood all over the ground.

In the snow, there was only a young child standing among the dark crowd.

Song Ran looked at his younger sister standing there in a daze, extremely anxious, and quickly pushed her gently, motioning her to lie down.

The leader had sharp eyes and a fierce aura. He glanced at the mob around him and announced:

"A large amount of medicinal materials were lost at the Tianhong Pharmacy in the city."

His voice was like a rolling stone falling to the ground, heavy and terrifying, and every word struck clearly into the hearts of everyone present.

Tianhong Clinic lost medicine, could it be...

The medicinal herbs in his arms were like hot potatoes in his hands, which made him feel scared, but he did not dare to act rashly at the moment.

In just one month, Tianhong Pharmacy became the largest medical clinic in Feng County.

Ordinary people are not clear about the truth behind this, but everyone can see that in order to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the previous Sanqing Medical Clinic and force it to close down, there must be a noble person backing it up.

When Qin Zhongyuan heard the general's words, he instantly felt cold sweat on his back.

It seems that I can’t take this medicine that is delivered to my door for free!

Su Xiaoxiao does business in the city, and she must be familiar with all the forces and relationships in the city.

Otherwise, if you offend anyone, your own safety will be unpredictable.

The former county magistrate, Xu Changguang, was from Feng County. After taking office, he began to assist the land gentry in accumulating wealth.

Industries including Sanqing Medical Clinic and Xunzhen Building were all supported by Xu Changguang.

So Sanqing Medical Clinic and Xunzhenlou were the largest medical clinic and restaurant in Fengxian County respectively.

Ever since Xu Changguang died.

Former county magistrate Yang Yihe came to power and dealt with the Sanqing Medical Clinic, but he actually had the support of the Gu family behind the scenes.

Later, Yang Yihe infringed on land interests, which undoubtedly touched the nerves of some people.

Su Xiaoxiao speculated that Yang Yihe was suddenly transferred back, most likely because the Gu family had joined forces with other forces in the court.

The head of the Gu family is Gu Yongyuan, the Minister of Revenue, and his daughter is the current Concubine Shu.

The current county magistrate, Ma Chongyang, is a disciple of the Gu family.

Su Xiaoxiao guessed that behind Tianhong Medical Clinic, it was probably the Gu family who was secretly controlling it.

This year, the old lady of the Gu family returned to her hometown to visit her relatives and announced to the public that she was just homesick.

I’m afraid it’s not just a simple visit to visit parents.

The war in the north has been going on for five years now. Su Xiaoxiao was still wondering whether the Northern Empire could remain stable.

Now that the emperor has gone south to Feng County, the situation is becoming increasingly precarious.

The Gu family may have made arrangements in advance to prepare for the future imperial city.

"Collect all the medicinal herbs."

Several soldiers walked among the crowd.

The person kneeling on the ground obediently handed over the herbs.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt down and carefully put the two ginsengs and the Ganoderma lucidum under her body into the space.

Since coming here, her space has undergone an amazing transformation. Not only has the volume of the space continued to expand, but even more amazingly, she is able to use silver coins to purchase modern items in this space.

Ever since the price of rice, flour and meat in the city rose above the exchange price in space, he seized this business opportunity and started buying rice, flour and meat in space.

This price difference at least made her profitable.

At the same time, she also developed a good habit of stockpiling food while she had money.

The soldiers gathered the collected herbs on the ground. "Master Gu, there are a total of thirteen ginseng plants."

Gu Jingsheng looked at the small pile of medicinal herbs on the ground, and then at the crowd of shabby people in front of him. He found it hard to believe that these people could steal the herbs right under his nose.

Gu Jingsheng asked: "Where is the village chief?"

Li Wanshu stepped forward hurriedly: "Sir, I am Li Wanshu, the village chief of Lihua Village."

Gu Jingsheng looked at the thin and withered village chief in front of him, dismounted, and raised Li Wanshu's chin with his sword: "Tell me, how can we transport the medicinal materials out of the city without anyone noticing?"

He was indeed curious that there were such amazing people in this world.

Li Wanshu's forehead was covered with sweat, and the tip of the knife was still stained with Jia Zhenchang's blood. "Sir... why do you say that?"

Gu Jingsheng felt bored, so he kicked him down and said coldly, "Kill him."

Li Wanshu collapsed instantly.

Bai Xiuwen quickly stepped forward and begged for mercy: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with my uncle. It was done by the village doctor."

"Oh?" Gu Jingsheng, who was about to mount his horse, looked back. If he could recruit such a capable person, it would not be a waste for him to go out of the city in vain.

If I were still a useless person...

"It's him!" Bai Xiuwen pointed at Qin Zhongyuan in the crowd.

Gu Jingsheng gave a look and the soldiers went to drag Doctor Qin out.

"General, I am just an ordinary doctor. I don't know where these herbs came from. These...are like a drop from the sky, suddenly appearing in my courtyard in the middle of the night."

Gu Jingsheng sneered, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at the trembling man in front of him: "You mean, you are destined by heaven? You are so brave!"

Qin Zhongyuan hurriedly shook his head: "Sir! I really don't know!"

Gu Jingsheng's face darkened, and he kicked Qin Zhongyuan over with a cruel smile: "Come here! Execute all these rats who intend to rebel."

Su Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling in the crowd, widened her eyes. She had never expected that this general would be so moody.

Song Li was just about to quietly ask her sister if her knees felt cold, but at this moment, she suddenly discovered that her sister's eyes had lost their former brightness.

She was startled and could not help but follow her sister's gaze to look at the group of soldiers.

The tip of the knife should be pointed at the enemy, but now it is hanging over the heads of innocent people.

She analyzed everything nearby that could help her, she needed to make sure if she had enough power to defeat them all in one go.

Just as she held her sister's hand and prepared to act, an arrow flew out of the woods.

Gu Jingsheng wanted to dodge, but the arrow was too fast and pierced his eye.

"Ah!!" Gu Jingsheng covered his face in pain, blood seeped out from between his fingers, staining his palms red.

A group of big men rushed out of the forest, with ferocious expressions on their faces. The leader was a burly man holding a huge machete, with greed in his eyes.

The leader glanced at the injured Gu Jingsheng, smiled, and gave an order: "There are so many good horses! Brothers, we have to replace the donkeys and mules with good horses like this!"

Song Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the person hiding in the woods.

Is it Li Dongya? !
